Kahn Award: Classical Studies

At a reception for SAS faculty on April 28, in addition to presenting
the Abrams
Award to Dr. Robert Rescorla , Dean Samuel Preston will give the Kahn
Award for Educational Excellence to the Department of Classical Studies
and Ancient History, which he described as "a model in its use of the
most modern educational tools--innovative pedagogy and the latest technology--to
bring the classical world alive for its students."

The department is chaired by Dr. Ralph Rosen, with Dr. Sheila Murnaghan
as undergraduate chair and Dr. Joseph Farrell as graduate chair. The Kahn
Award is in its second year as a $6000 prize for a department, undergraduate
program, graduate group or center than demonstrates "extraordinary
collective faculty commitment to teaching, curriculum innovation, and service
to students."
